Hi, I'm afraid you're asking for the impossible here. The idea of a 'system' repository is that it applies system-wide, to all users. If you remove it from the system it will remove it from Discover, for all users on the PC. Now unless I'm mistaken, there's actually no need for a system repo at all. When you first add Flathub to your PC, it adds a 'system' repository by default. You can remove it manually and add a 'user' repository manually for each user. Every account can have its own 'user' repository, including the administrator. Adding user repositories currently can only be done via the command line. There is a wishlist request open for adding this functionality to Discovers GUI, see: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481183 In comment #1, Nate suggested prioritising user repos over system repos. I have a bug open for this currently. See here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=510138 In comment #2 you wrote; >2) Even if it was reliable, it is still limiting what can be done.

What you're describing here is a parental controls issue. Non-administrator users will still require the administrator (root) password to install certain software in Discover, regardless of whether or not they are trying to install software from a user repository or a system repository. Please track the two separate issues I've mentioned in the two URL's I've shared above. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
